七国集团领导人于10月2日星期五举行会谈，协调针对燃油价格的行动。此前，美国加大压力，要求欧洲释放战略储备，并威胁实施柴油出口禁令。
G7 leaders held talks to coordinate action on fuel prices on Friday, October 2, after the United States upped pressure on Europe to release its strategic reserves, threatening a diesel export ban.
受美伊战争影响，美国和欧洲柴油价格创历史新高；主要产油国俄罗斯因乌克兰袭击燃料设施而实施出口禁令，也加剧了全球市场压力。这一问题已成为特朗普总统所属共和党在即将到来的中期选举中的重大拖累，该党可能因此失去对国会的控制。
Diesel prices in the US and Europe have hit record highs due to the US-Iran war, with an export ban imposed by major producer Russia in response to Ukrainian attacks on fuel facilities also contributing to global market pressures. The issue has emerged as a major drag for President Donald Trump's Republican Party in the coming midterm elections, in which it risks losing control of Congress.
周三，特朗普提出禁止美国出口柴油的可能性。柴油是卡车和其他货运车辆使用的燃料——对于高度依赖化石燃料进口的欧盟而言，这一前景令人担忧。
On Wednesday, Trump floated the possibility of banning US exports of diesel, which is used in trucks and other hauling vehicles – an alarming prospect for the EU, which relies heavily on fossil fuel imports.
周五与特朗普通话后，法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙召集七国集团领导人举行视频会议——该集团成员还包括英国、日本、加拿大、德国和意大利——会议于格林尼治时间12时30分开始，讨论联合采取行动。
After speaking with Trump on Friday, France's President Emmanuel Macron convened a video call of G7 leaders – a group also comprising Britain, Japan, Canada, Germany and Italy – starting at 12:30 GMT to discuss joint action.
此前，欧盟强烈反对美国实施柴油出口禁令的威胁，马克龙在与特朗普通话时也警告不要采取这一措施。欧盟委员会发言人安娜-凯萨·伊特科宁说：“我们完全反对任何柴油出口禁令。禁令不会让任何人受益，只会削弱我们对美国这一可靠伙伴的信任。”她补充说，在欧盟成员国与欧盟委员会举行危机会谈、拟定统一应对方案后，这个27国集团已准备与国际能源署合作，考虑释放燃料储备以遏制价格上涨。
Earlier, the EU pushed back hard against US threats to impose the diesel export ban – something Macron also warned against during his conversation with Trump. "We fully reject any ban on diesel. A ban would not be beneficial to anyone. It would undermine our trust in the United States as a reliable partner," European Commission spokeswoman Anna-Kaisa Itkonen said. The 27-nation bloc was ready to work with the International Energy Agency on the possible release of fuel reserves to contain prices, she added, following crisis talks between EU member states and the Commission to forge a unified response.
美国的压力在美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特加大对欧洲国家的压力一天后，一系列外交活动发生了。贝森特在社交媒体上发帖称：“我们的欧洲合作伙伴应该加快兑现现有承诺，并立即提供额外供应，以应对持续的中断。”他写道：“美国农民、卡车司机和企业不应该承担全球柴油短缺的负担。”
US pressure The flurry of diplomatic activity came a day after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent cranked up the pressure on European nations. "Our European partners should accelerate delivery on their existing commitments and make additional supplies immediately available to address ongoing disruptions," Bessent posted on social media. "American farmers, truckers, and businesses should not be left carrying the burden of a global diesel shortage," he wrote.
本周早些时候，国际能源署（IEA）总干事法蒂赫·比罗尔（Fatih Birol）表示，欧洲国家尚未释放他们早些时候在3月份为压低价格而同意的部分库存。比罗尔周二在都柏林举行的欧盟能源部长会议后对记者表示：“很大一部分库存已经释放，但仍有一些库存，无论是原油还是产品。”
Earlier this week, the head of the International Energy Agency (IEA), Fatih Birol, said European nations were yet to release part of the stocks they had agreed to in an earlier bid to ease prices in March. "A big chunk of the stocks have been released, but still some remain, both in terms of crude oil and products," Birol told reporters Tuesday after a meeting of EU energy ministers in Dublin.
去年3月，IEA的32个成员国同意从储备中释放4亿桶石油，这是其有史以来最大规模的释放。比罗尔表示，大约三分之一的库存尚未上市，并补充说，由于IEA总体库存的80%“仍在我们的口袋里”，进一步释放是可能的。"“戏剧性的后果”欧盟贸易负责人马罗斯·塞夫科维奇周四在密尔沃基举行的G20贸易部长会议间隙告诉记者，美国柴油禁令将“对我们的经济表现产生巨大影响”。
The 32 members of the IEA agreed last March to unlock 400 million barrels of oil from reserves, their largest release ever. About a third was yet to come to market, Birol said, adding that further releases were possible with 80% of overall IEA stocks "still in our pocket." 'Dramatic consequences' EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic told reporters on the sidelines of the G20 trade ministers gathering in Milwaukee on Thursday that the US diesel ban would have "dramatic consequences for our economic performance."
“有报道称，特朗普政府特别希望法国和德国利用其柴油库存来抑制价格。德国政府周五还呼吁采取“协调和互惠的解决方案”，警告不要采取可能破坏全球燃料市场稳定的单边行动。
Reports said the Trump administration wants France and Germany in particular to tap their stockpiles of diesel to try to curb prices. The German government also called for "coordinated and reciprocal solutions" on Friday, warning against unilateral actions that could destabilise global fuel markets.
欧盟定于周五下午举行大使级的进一步讨论，布鲁塞尔否认其对燃料价格危机的立场是由美国压力决定的。欧盟委员会发言人保拉？皮尼奥（Paula Pinho）表示：“我们一直在举行的这些会议与最近的迹象、威胁无关。”
Further EU discussions at ambassador-level were scheduled for Friday afternoon, with Brussels denying its stance on the fuel price crisis was being dictated by US pressure. "These meetings that we've been holding have nothing to do with recent indications, threats, whatever you may call them," commission spokeswoman Paula Pinho said, noting diesel prices had doubled in Europe since February.
